Dendrochronology is a niche field of study, used to work out the age of trees, forests and wooden objects. However, it is not only useful for looking at the past, but also for considering how to manage wooded areas in the future. Mark met with expert dendrochronologist Dr Coralie Mills, and Borders Forest Trust Project Officer, Catriona Patience, to find out more about more about these scientific methods, and how they have informed forest management.Drones can have a lot of potential for wildlife researchers, and one person who has found them incredibly useful is Claire Stainfield, a PhD student at Scotland's Rural College.

Hello! I'm currently in the middle of producing a new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast. So in the meantime, I've got a special episode for you that I think you'll enjoy! Some of you will remember an episode I recorded with Matthew Bannister back in 2020 - he's the founder of the multi-award winning Folk on Foot podcast where he goes walking with leading folk musicians in beautiful spots that have inspired their music. I really loved chatting with Matthew and hearing all about how and why he started Folk on Foot, and I've devoured each episode over the years. It's an absolutely stunning podcast, and complete escapism, even if you're like me and don't know a huge amount about folk music. So I'm thrilled that he's let me share with you one of my favourite episodes of Folk on Foot which I think you'll love. It's Matthew's walk and conversation with the author Raynor Winn, who's bestselling book, The Salt Path, tells the story of her journey along the 630-mile South West Coast Path with her husband Moth, after they'd become homeless and he'd been diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Raynor has also been collaborating with the Gigspanner Big Band to create a show which marries her words about the South West and traditional music from the area. The Outdoors Fix has always been about sharing conversations and inspiration so we can all fit more of the outdoors into our lives - so I hope you enjoy Matthew's wonderful chat and walk with Raynor and you take away something from it too. There are dozens of other episodes of Folk on Foot available, recorded all over the country, from Shetland to Port Isaac, and with musicians like Eliza Carthy, Johnny Flynn and Karine Polwart. One of my favourite episodes is with Sam Lee where he sings among nightingales in Sussex - I'd definitely recommend listening to that one. Just search for Folk on Foot wherever you get your podcasts, or find them @folkonfoot on social media. If you'd like to listen to my conversation with Matthew on The Outdoors Fix, where he tells me all about his outdoors life and why he set up Folk on Foot, it's the episode from July 2020. And stay tuned for a brand new series of The Outdoors Fix podcast in the next few weeks! Until then, enjoy your adventures outside - we all know it's the best place there is.

Helen Rebanks went from farmer, wife and mother to publishing sensation last year when her first book, The Farmer's Wife, earned huge success and a legion of fans — not least the likes of bestselling author Raynor Winn and Times columnist Caitlin Moran. Her bestselling tale of everyday life on the Cumbrian farm which she runs alongside husband James is a wonderfully honest look at the ups and downs of what it means to raise — and feed — a family while keeping a roof over everyone's heads. In this edition of the Country Life podcast, Helen joins host James Fisher to talk about her life in the country, and how her youthful ideals were shaped and changed as her life unfolded. She is completely candid about how she swapped a life in the city that was 'quite often very lonely, quite often very empty', to return to the country and live a quieter life which has proven immeasurably meaningful. 'I've been very proud, happy, content, fulfilled doing the work I do,' she says. 'Not to say it's easy, or that there aren't hard times... but I think writing it was reflecting on the choices I've made.'Helen also talks with huge passion about the importance of farming, sustainability and the environment, particularly as farmers themselves are squeezed by supermarkets, government policy and a market saturated with low-quality, imported produce. 'After Brexit we had an opportunity to make things better in this country, but it's got worse and worse and worse,' she says. 'There isn't enough value put on the importance of healthy food and healthy environment together.' Helen's book, The Farmer's Wife, is out in paperback on 29 February, 2024, (Faber, £10.99).

It's January (Again! So soon!) so, rather than give up everything, this month we're revisiting a host of episodes that are all about a little inspiration. First up the one and only Raynor Winn...---One hundred episodes... how did that happen?! The little podcast that started on a whim and a prayer (and no, that's not a typo!) is still here and soaring. So I could not think of a more fitting guest for such a landmark episode than a woman whose life is a tribute to the power of hope...Where do you turn when everything feels hopeless? My guest today knows the answer to better than most. Nine years ago, in the space of one week, Raynor Winn lost her home, and her husband, Moth, was diagnosed with a degenerative disease. In the face of such loss, there was only one thing to do: they packed what little of their life they could carry into their backpacks, and walked.That walk - 630 miles along the South West Coast path - became the bestseller The Salt Path. It sold a million copies, spent more than 90 weeks in the Sunday Times bestseller lists and changed thousands of lives - not least Raynor and Moth's.Despite defying the medical odds, two years ago Moth's health began to decline again. Clutching at hope, they set out for one last walk: this time 1000 miles, from Cape Wrath in the far North West of Scotland back home to Cornwall. But in walking back home, could they really walk Moth back to health a second time?Raynor joined me to talk about the book of that epic journey, Landlines, and how walking The Salt Path wiped her clean. We also discuss the power of walking, why nature has always been her safe place, putting yourself in the way of hope and how a shy girl hiding behind the sofa became a public person at 60. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including Landlines by Raynor Winn and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me!* And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com• The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Emily Sandford.

Which parts of your life are put under a microscope over the festive period? Maybe you notice niggling difficulties amongst family members, or perhaps as we approach the new year you want a bit of motivation to help you take control of the life you want to live. In this episode, Fearne chats about the Happy Place conversations that have had a tangible impact on her own life in 2023, as well as the episodes that could be particularly helpful for all of us at this time of year. Fearne reflects on her chats with Jay Shetty, Kesha, Professor David Nutt, and many others, covering issues including arguments, addiction, and cultivating a kinder relationship with yourself.Listen to the full episodes - Bob Waldinger: https://pod.fo/e/17c1d1 Jay Shetty: https://pod.fo/e/164c7dKesha: https://pod.fo/e/17dee1 Professor David Nutt: https://pod.fo/e/19146b Raynor Winn: https://pod.fo/e/15c075 Bronnie Ware: https://pod.fo/e/18f064 Hosted on Acast.

Celebrated author, Raynor Winn, joins Rachel to talk about the upcoming screen adaptation of her Sunday Times best-seller, The Salt Path, and the evocative and beautiful collaboration with The Gigpsanner Big Band that has created 'Saltlines', a project that combines prose and folk music with a focus on the coastline of the south west. About Raynor Winn Since travelling the South West Coast Path, Raynor Winn has become a regular long-distance walker and writes about nature, homelessness and the health benefits of walking. She is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Salt Path, The Wild Silence and Landlines. She won the Royal Society of Literature Christopher Bland Prize in 2019 and has been shortlisted for numerous other awards including the Costa, the Wainwright and the Stanfords Travel Writing awards. Raynor is also a prolific speaker.  Her latest title, LANDLINES, was a number 1 Sunday Times bestseller in both hardback and paperback. The film adaptation of the 85-week Sunday Times Bestseller, THE SALT PATH, will be released in 2024 and stars Gillian Anderson as Raynor and Jason Isaacs as Moth. In 2022 Raynor collaborated with folk-roots supergroup The Gigspanner Big Band to create Saltlines, a prose and music collaboration. Thought-provoking compositions by Raynor were written with songs and tunes curated from collections by Cecil Sharp and Sabine Baring-Gould, and the archive held at Cecil Sharp House, home of the English Folk Dance and Song Society. The show enjoyed a debut tour in 2022 around the South West Coast Path, and expanded its reach during 2023 with a tour of the North.  Raynor is also a much valued Ambassador at the Association.

Trish and Lorraine have a girl crush moment when they interview one of their favourite authors, Raynor Winn, about her latest book Landlines for this season's book club episode. The million-selling writer of The Salt Path, which charts her journey from homelessness and financial disaster to starting over in midlife, discusses how to overcome fear when life seems to be falling apart, living with her husband Moth's incurable disease and the healing power of nature. And she reveals what happened when she met Gillian Anderson who plays Raynor in the film of her life, out next year.Plus: Your hosts select their book recommendations for autumn, and a ghostly step back in time with Nostalgia NoodleContact us: hello@postcardsfrommidlife.comFollow us on Instragram: @postcardsfrommidlife Join our private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/681448662400206/ Hosted on Acast.

Long-distance walker, writer, and author Raynor Winn describes her 1000 mile walk from Scotland to the South West of England. With tents, backpacks, and minimal supplies, their plan was to walk the 230-mile Cape Wrath Trail — some of the toughest terrain in Britain. But after they completed that trek, they kept on walking.  Winn talks about her passion for walking, how she feels “intrinsically enmeshed with the natural world,” and why she finds walking incredible distances to be transformative. Walking, Winn explains, had been the only thing that helped Moth, whose symptoms from a Parkinson's-like disease had become increasingly dire.   “When we walked on the coast path, it had just been about a walk,” she says. “It had been about walking because we had nowhere to be, but we discovered this change in his health and we'd sort of hung onto that over the years after, because we've tried to keep walking as much as possible. “

Quality and environmental management are top priorities for many organisations, backed up by the increasing number of ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certificates being issued every year. Aside from being a popular requirement on tenders, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 provide a robust framework for businesses to ensure they follow Best Practice, enhance their businesses performance and put measures in place to reduce their environmental impact. We often see these two Standards being implemented in tandem, as is the case with todays' guest, Asynt. Asynt is a global provider of world leading technologies and services for scientific research, developed by chemists for chemists, their laboratory equipment responds to the real demands of industry and academia across the globe. Today we welcome Siobhan Ellwood, Sales Support at Asynt, as she explains their journey towards ISO 9001 Implementation, and how they embedded ISO 14001 along the way using our online learning platform – the isologyhub. You'll learn ●      Who are Asynt? ●      How did Siobhan get involved with ISO Standards? ●      What was Asynt's main driver for obtaining ISO 9001 and ISO 14001? ●      What did Asynt learn while implementing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001? ●      Siobhan's experience using the isologyhub to implement ISO 14001   Resources ●      Asynt ●      ISO 9001 ●      ISO 14001 ●      isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [00:55] An Introduction to Asynt - A global provider of world leading technologies and services for scientific research. Based just outside of Ely in Cambridgeshire, they just celebrated 20 years in business! [02:10] Siobhan's role and how she got involved with ISO Standards: Siobhan is the Sales Support Manager for Asynt, she assist with raising quotations, managing sales orders and providing support for the warehouse. In January 2023, 3 members of the Asynt Team were tasked with researching and obtaining ISO 9001, with a view to adopt ISO 14001 later on. Siobhan had experience working with Quality Standards thanks to her previous work in aviation and automotive companies, and had even previously implemented the Standard. Naturally, she was a perfect fit to head the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 project at Asynt. [05:40] What did Siobhan enjoy most about Implementing ISO Standards? Initially, realising that she had a lot more knowledge about ISO than she gave herself credit for. Also, making use of the 5 Why's to identify where something has gone wrong, implement a solution and preventing it from recurring. [06:40] What were the main drivers behind Implementing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001?: For ISO 9001 – Top Management saw the need to have proper procedures in place, to ensure that everything was written down and could be communicated and conducted by other staff if needed. Ultimately, they wanted a cohesive system where everything, included roles and responsibilities, were documented and managed. For ISO 14001 – Customers often ask for ISO 9001, but ISO 14001 was also starting to pop up in conversation more. Top Management at Asynt wanted to get ahead of the curve and make the move towards becoming more environmentally friendly. It was also seen as a stepping stone towards being in a position to calculate their Carbon Footprint and make further improvements. [09:50] The ISO 14001 Coaching Programme – Asynt were one of the first companies to go through our ISO Coaching Programme, hosted via the isologyhub. This programme combined the DIY digital platform with group coaching sessions, allowing all participants to work collaboratively towards creating their own Environmental Management System.   [10:20] Siobhan's experience with the ISO 14001 Coaching Programme:  Overall Siobhan had a very positive experience in the coaching programme, a few highlights include: Sharing ideas: Other participants come from a wide range of industries, and each brought their own unique ideas to the table, encouraging others to look at things from many different points of view. Support: If another participant is struggling with something, there is a group of people to support and provide possible solutions. Siobhan gave an example of where she provided an Excel guide to another member who was looking for a solution. Resources: Siobhan had previous experience with implementing ISO Standards, so she was aware of what type of documentation was required. She found the resources on the hub useful to refer to outside of coaching sessions, to enhance Asynt's own ISO Standard Implementation.   [12:20] What was the biggest Gap identified during Asynt's Gap Analysis? Mostly it was the lack of documentation, which required a lot of work to get everything written down in cohesive processes and procedures. For ISO 14001, Asynt are fortunate enough to own the buildings that they operate in. So, gathering the initial information required where potential energy and environmental improvements could be made was fairly easy. [15:00] What differences did Asynt see after addressing the identified gaps? For ISO 14001 – Some elements were already in place (recycling waste ect), but weren't being monitored in any meaningful way. Now Siobhan has got processes in place to ensure the recycling is being separated correctly and weighed so they can properly gauge their impact. For ISO 9001 – It was the introduction of the 5 Why's, which Asynt have used to great effect to identify problems and implement solutions. An example of this can be found in their warehouse, lanes and shelves weren't labelled, causing confusion. It was a quick fix that could have been implemented years ago, but the 5 Why's forced a much needed change. [18:00] What did Siobhan learn from the experience of Implementing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001?  Integrating a Management System can save on a lot of paperwork! Initially the plan was to have just an ISO 9001 System, with ISO 14001 implemented at a later date. Going through the process of Implementing them as the same time highlighted how much easier it would be to combine them, thanks in part to how many elements overlap between the two. It also makes the system a lot easier to interact with, having everything in one place rather than spread between two separate systems means staff don't have to waste time digging for policies and Procedures. [20:00] Certification plans: Asynt are well on their way towards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certification with their Stage 1 in October and Stage 2 in November 2023. With just under 2 months before the Stage 1, Siobhan plans to continue working through some opportunities for Improvement, raised by Blackmores in some recent Internal Audits. [21:41] Siobhan's top tip: Trust in the process and make sure that you have the right person in your business to lead the ISO project. Also being open to change, being honest with yourself about where the gaps are and trying to get those closed but also manage expectations within the business. [23:50] Siobhan's book recommendation:  Salt path by Raynor Winn. [26:05] Siobhan's favorite quote: “Personal growth is not a matter of learning new information, but unlearning old limits” – Alan Cohen If you'd like to learn more about Asynt check out their website!

Raynor Winn is a writer whose first book, The Salt Path, followed the remarkable 630-mile journey she and her husband Moth made around the South West Coastal Path. It was a story of endurance as they had lost their home, had little money and Moth had been diagnosed with a terminal illness. But they found solace in nature and kept putting one foot in front of the other, living for the now: a message that obviously chimed with readers, as the book became a bestseller and is currently being made into a film. Raynor has since written a sequel called The Wild Silence, about readjusting to four walls and normal life after that seminal walk, and Landlines where she and Moth again embark on a thousand-mile journey from Scotland back to the familiar shores of the South West Coast Path. Raynor's musical choices include works by Britten, Schubert and Vaughan Williams.

Jeg har glædet mig helt vildt til at fortælle jer om næste del af vores slow travel-eksperiment! Vi begyndte med nogle få dage i Paris, og nu er vi nået til Sydengland. Her har vi brugt godt 2 uger på at vandre en del af den spektakulære South West Coast Path. Det er Englands længste nationalrute, og i alt er den godt 1000 km lang. Vores mål var ganske enkelt bare at komme derover og gå en lille smule af den, og det har været fantastisk. Men tingene gik ikke helt efter planen (som de jo aldrig gør), og også det kan du høre om i dag. Husk desuden , at du lige nu og frem til fredag d. 7. juli kl. 14.00 kan tilmelde dig SommerRO.

Personligt ville jeg gerne vandre hele ruten men som børnefamilie og især med et barn med et handicap, handler store oplevelser ikke om, hvor mange kilometer vi når på en dag, eller hvor mange steder vi når at se. Det handler om at få det bedste ud af turen og tage de små og store oplevelser, vi kan få.

Raynor Winn, bestselling author, one of my personal heroes, all-round amazingly nice person - is the guest on this deep dive episode of The Thoughtful Travel Podcast. I discovered Raynor Winn's books thanks to the Thoughtful Travellers Book Club, when one of our members, Joan, suggested we read "The Salt Path". I'm so glad she did, because it became a firm favourite amongst book club members, and we've subsequently read "The Wild Silence" and will soon discuss Raynor's third book, "Landlines", too.  In this chat, we discuss the mindset shifts from the hiking life, and what to do when you have to spend time back in "normal life"; we talk about making connections with other people on your travels; we cover the issue of homelessness, something important to both of us; we delve into how Raynor actually became a writer, and what her writing process is like now; and finally, we end with some fabulous lessons from travel.  It was such a thrill to record this chat, and I hope you all enjoy it even half as much as I did!

Episode 4 explores how the environment on and around the Coast Path inspires artists and creatives. We had the absolute privilege of chatting with renowned contemporary artist Kurt Jackson; celebrated musician Peter Knight; and artist, writer, and fundraiser Emma Scattergood. Each artist discusses their very personal relationship with the coastal landscape and how immersing themselves in its awe-inspiring beauty, provokes and inspires their artwork and music.  Kurt Jackson is a dedicated environmentalist and true polymath whose artistic practice ranges from his trademark visceral plein-air sessions to studio work and embraces an extensive range of materials and techniques including mixed media, large canvases, print-making and sculpture. Kurt and his wife Caroline live and work in the most-westerly town in Britain, St Just-in-Penwith where in 2015 they set up the Jackson Foundation. Jackson says that his ‘creativity, visual art and writing is often inspired, motivated and in response to the typography, biodiversity and changing seasonality of the coastal habitats'. Peter Knight is a violinist who was 'discovered' by Ashley Hutchings, founder of the folk band Steeleye Span. He was invited to join the Band when they were just on the cusp of fame and spent 45 years touring the world with them, making several Gold Albums and appearing in their own BBC series. He left in 2013 to focus on the Gigspanner Trio and the Gigspanner Big Band, and most recently joined with The Salt Path author, Raynor Winn, on Saltlines – a collaboration of prose and music celebrating the South West Coast Path.  Emma Scattergood is a writer, artist and educator, specialising in community-facing projects. After many years as a journalist/author and then a university lecturer, her latest project is walking and drawing the SW Coast Path and sharing elements of that process in Creative Path workshops, encouraging intuitive, creative engagement with nature. When not on the Path or in her studio, Emma also works part-time on a community project for a writing development agency and as a lead trustee for The Story Works (a children's charity she co-founded).

Heidi and Ellen talk about great gift ideas (Themed Gifts! Masterclass Subscriptions! Journals! Writing Classes; Presents for Cooks!) (2:06). They then take questions from Kelsey (11:49) and Marie (22:13). Both are Sagittarius rising. Both have been in the non-profit world for many years. Both are ready for a change- hopefully doing something more creative. And, they both wonder how they can be brave and follow their heart's yearning. Ellen and Heidi then talk about The White Lotus (great finale!);  the Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan; and all the new Christmas movies.  They also talk about the books Educated by Tara Westover and The Salt Path by Raynor Winn (34:16).  

Kim Pittar from Muir's Independent Bookshop Gisborne reviews Landlines by Raynor Winn, published by Penguin

Raynor Winn's new memoir Landlines is a story that begins in fear but ends in hope. As the health of Moth, Raynor's husband, declines, the couple set out to walk the gruelling, remote and stunningly beautiful terrain of Scotland's Cape Wrath Trail, reflecting on community and the environment along the way. Raynor is the bestselling author of the astonishing, multi-award-winning The Salt Path (2019) which told the story of another remarkable journey, when nature first saved the couple. Just days after Raynor learnt that Moth, her husband of thirty-two years, was terminally ill, their home was taken away and they lost their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they made the impulsive, brave decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path.

One hundred episodes... how did that happen?! The little podcast that started on a whim and a prayer (and no, that's not a typo!) is still here and soaring. So I could not think of a more fitting guest for such a landmark episode than a woman whose life is a tribute to the power of hope...Where do you turn when everything feels hopeless? My guest today knows the answer to better than most. Nine years ago, in the space of one week, Raynor Winn lost her home, and her husband, Moth, was diagnosed with a degenerative disease. In the face of such loss, there was only one thing to do: they packed what little of their life they could carry into their backpacks, and walked.That walk - 630 miles along the South West Coast path - became the bestseller The Salt Path. It sold a million copies, spent more than 90 weeks in the Sunday Times bestseller lists and changed thousands of lives - not least Raynor and Moth's.Despite defying the medical odds, two years ago Moth's health began to decline again. Clutching at hope, they set out for one last walk: this time 1000 miles, from Cape Wrath in the far North West of Scotland back home to Cornwall. But in walking back home, could they really walk Moth back to health a second time?Raynor joined me to talk about the book of that epic journey, Landlines, and how walking The Salt Path wiped her clean. We also discuss the power of walking, why nature has always been her safe place, putting yourself in the way of hope and how a shy girl hiding behind the sofa became a public person at 60. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at Bookshop.org, including Landlines by Raynor Winn and the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me!* Want to take advantage of the offer of 30-day free membership of The Shift newsletter and community?

Raynor Winn's best-selling book “The Salt Path” tells how she and her husband Moth became homeless just as he was diagnosed with a terminal neuro-degenerative disease. Despite this, they set off to walk the 630 challenging miles of the South West Coast Path which stretches from Minehead in Somerset along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall to Poole Harbour in Dorset. The redemptive story of their dogged determination, loving relationship and close connection with the natural world made the book a best seller. And now Raynor has teamed up with Peter Knight's Gigspanner Big Band (featuring Hannah Martin and Philip Henry of Edgelarks, John Spiers of Bellowhead, guitarist Roger Flack and percussionist Sacha Trochet) to create a new show called Saltlines - which combines traditional music from the South West Coast with new words about the area. In this episode, host Matthew Bannister gets the great privilege of attending rehearsals in a village hall near Exmouth, and then walking the Coast Path with Raynor. --- Access exclusive films of Raynor Winn and the Gigspanner Big Band along our walk, along with over 150 performances from dozens of artists, by signing up to Folk On Foot On Film: https://www.folkonfoot.com/watch We rely entirely on support from our listeners to make Folk on Foot.

De mate waarin je comfortabel bent met jezelf heeft invloed op alle facetten van je leven, waaronder ook je werkprestaties. Seksualiteit vormt dan ook een belangrijk onderdeel van je gezondheid, maar in hoeverre ben jij verbonden met je eigen seksualiteit? Hoe goed ken jij je eigen lichaam? Deze week spreken we met twee inspirerende gasten! Founder van erotisch verhalen platform Rouze, Eva de Visser én voormalig CEO van erotiekmerk Christine le Duc, Audrey van Ham. Samen met Caroline gaan Eva en Audrey in gesprek over de sextechindustrie, hoe deze industrie steeds minder man-gedomineerd wordt, welke taboes er nog zijn en hoe we als vrouw, in verbinding met onze seksualiteit, in onze kracht kunnen komen te staan.

It's Valentines Day this week and in celebration we have a love story on the podcast today. This isn't a traditional schmaltzy love story though, The Salt Path is a stunning love letter, the record of a long walk and features the sort of love story most of us will never be lucky enough to experience.

In general, you want friends with whom you can have a meaningful conversation. You can call them on a bad day and they will care. Your group of friends are better than any drug or anti-aging supplement, and will do more for you than just about anything." Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!

In the last of this mini series of catch up interviews, Charlotte speaks to author of The Salt Path, Raynor Winn. They discuss how we adjust from macro living to the micro, and why people who sneak through the back of tents of talks at festivals are probably the best kind of people.Support the show: www.ko-fi.com/growingwildInsta: @growingwildfmEmail: growingwildreverb@gmail.com

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, Anne Muhlethaler interviews Keris Masden (@fitterfood), a first of what may be several interviews with the highly qualified naturopathic nutritional therapist, personal trainer and lecturer at the College of Naturophathic Medicine.  Keris with her partner Matt Whitmore runs Fitter Food, a comprehensive platform offering good food, optimal health, tools to get fit and active, and leading long and happy lives.Anne invites Keris to share first the why behind her path  into personal training, and then into naturopathy. A very personal journey indeed, in large part motivated by a loved one's cancer diagnosis and a chance encounter with a naturopath at an event. Anne and Keris also share their personal experiences in and around burnout, which leads them to discuss the function of breath in gut health and the importance of finding ways to release the stress cycle in our modern  (and currently pandemic) environment. Keris then explains how she first got interested in the Paleo diet, how she thinks it can  be adapted and how it supports a healthier lifestyle.  Herself a keen cook (and a budding chocolatier), she stared creating deliciously nutritious recipes for her clients, which then turned into her first book, 'The Paleo Primer'.  She kindly credits her dog Hamish, a Bavarian mountain hound, as her best personal trainer and advisor, himself too a paelo convert. The two finish as always discussing mindfulness tips, the importance of community, favorite books (The Salt Path by Raynor Winn), the best advice Keris received from a friend (watch your gut!)  and what brings her happiness.  A really wonderful, personal and powerful conversation. Enjoy! ***Selected links from the episode: You can find Keris at Fitterfood.com Join the Fitter 365 programListen to the Fitter Food podcaston Facebookon Twitter on Instagramon YoutubeKeris also blogs regularly on Fitter Food about her own experiences with naturopathy, healthcare, etc.  Very much worth a read.The College of Naturopathic Medicine - (UK, US & Ireland)Functional MedicineThe Paleo Diet on WikipediaThe Paleo Primer book Mark Freeth Freestyle YogaBurnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski Russell Brand's interview of James Nestor about breathing and his book, BreathJames Nestor's book, BreathThe Rock Choir The Salt Path by Raynor Winn  ***If you enjoyed this episode, click subscribe for more, and consider writing a review of the show on Apple Podcasts, it helps people find us and  also helps to secure future guests.

In this episode of Blitz's Book Club Cheryl sits down with Henry and Kevin to talk about Raynor Winn's 'The Salt Path', a non-fiction book about the healing power of the natural world. Acknowledgement of Country: I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation whose land on which UNSW resides. I pay my respects to elder's past, present and emerging, and pay my respects to any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people listening along with us. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

Based on real events and a novel that has been ten years in the making, The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex is a pitch-perfect mystery that will tempt any reader. In this episode we discover the true story behind this literary mystery and the author's fascination with the lighthouses that dot our coastline. We also hear from her agent and editor about the writing process, from the publishers about why the book is so special and how it's striking design was created, and fellow authors Raynor Winn and S. J. Watson tell us why they admire the book so much. Featuring Emma Stonex, Madeleine Milburn, Sophie Jonathan, Katie Bowden, Katie Tooke, Georgina Moore, Raynor Winn, S. J. Watson

While it was a joy to speak with Raynor Winn when she first came on the podcast to discuss The Salt Path, her bestselling memoir, this episode has me even more excited.Why? Because this memoir covers the period after walking the path, and takes us all the way through Raynor's experience writing the Salt Path, getting it published, ans the often terrifying prospect of having to tell people she was a writer. What a gift to follow this story through the part most writers don't share, and to discuss her experience in depth. This book is a must-read for memoirists, and anyone who ever feels a bit wobbly answering the question, “what do you do?” with, “I write.”Visit this episode's blog post here: https://www.secretlibrarypodcast.com/episodes/raynor-winn-s4-ep5 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

No one really knows what happened that night. The seas were calm, the doors locked from the inside of the lighthouse and all the clocks were stopped. Somehow they vanished without a trace, leaving their widows and the villagers with so many unanswered questions. Over time the simplest explanations gave way to conspiracy theories and ghost stories, and twenty years on a writer has come to speak with the women left behind to know their stories.  In a narrative that alternates between the widows and interviews with their menfolk before they disappeared, Emma Stonex’s gripping historical novel is one of the most anticipated books of the year! The Lamplighters is published by Picador and is available now to order from all good bookshops - preferably an indie. Or you’re also welcome to order from our shop here. ‘I loved The Lamplighters – lighthouse keepers, ghosts, warring widows. It’s a wonderfully smart and atmospheric story.’ Observer ‘A remarkable book, through every page, every character, the writing resonates with the dark, powerful presence of the sea.’ Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path Podcast produced and edited by Megan Bay Dorman Learn more about your ad choices.

Walking the Cornish Coast Path – isn't it all steep hills and very chilly at this time of year? In this episode, recorded while Liskeard was in Tier 3 and the day before lockdown, Susie, Tiggy and Ann resort to recording their podcast via zoom and interview Carol Beaver, an experienced coast path walker with her little dog, Mica. Everyone knows that Cornwall has some steep and rocky coastal sections and so the coast path at first sight might not appeal to all newly retired people. However, it is definitely worth looking into more closely as a possible adventure hobby. Carol explains how, for people living in South East Cornwall, it is possible to start quite gently since much of the south coast is has quite gentle undulations and there are a lot of fairly short circular walks with spectacular coastal views, great cafes and easy car parking to get you started. She also explains it is a great hobby for this time of year provided you have a good pair of walking boots and the right sort of jacket. Apologies in advance for any noise interference. Certainly Geoff, Ann's husband, was both stoking the wood burner and taking down Christmas decorations around her while they were recording. Oh well …….

Episode 6 - How Do I Overcome Self-Doubt As A Writer?THE WRITERS' ROOM - What's the biggest problem you are experiencing with writing this week?In the Writers Room this week, Pete and Laura chat about how to overcome the one problem all writers face, and that is self-doubt.‘Hi Laura and Pete, the question I have is, How do I overcome self-doubt as a writer? I'm always wondering about whether anyone will read my words, and what they would say. So much sometimes, it stops me from writing. What do you think and suggest?'Pete and Laura chat about self-doubt and how all authors struggle with it - even very successful authors too. They think about how you could quiet that negative voice in your head from stopping you writing. The journey of a writer is to acknowledge the voice for what it is - part of being a writer. To combat this, Laura talks about her new idea - The Win List. OUR CURRENT PROJECT UPDATES - What writing projects are we working & what's happened this week?Peter is still taking an hour a day to work on a first edit of his book about India and explains a bit more about the idea why he is calling it Rose-buds in Kerala. It reminds Laura about the quote by Paulo Coelho: “Past and future exist only in our memory." LESSONS WE'VE LEARNED THIS WEEK - What have we learned about writing & publishing this week?Pete is learning about the genre of non-fiction through the book Story Grid by Shawn Coyne.

Without it we lose our identity.' Maybe I was trying to lose my identity so I could invent a new one.”  Raynor Winn.WHAT'S HAPPENING AT DERBYSHIRE WRITING SCHOOL THIS WEEK? - How are we building the business this week?Laura is thinking through what the core values of Derbyshire Writing School are, and how she wants people to feel after they have been on one of the courses. All the courses at Derbyshire Writing School are creative and practical, and the vision is for all attendees to leave the courses feeling inspired and confident. PERSONAL UPDATES - What's going on in our lives?Peter and Laura reminisce about walking the Portugues Camino together with Sam, her brother, Pete's son.

05/10/2019: When Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years, is terminally ill, their home is taken away and unsure of where to go in life, they literally decide to put one foot in front of the other and walk over 630 miles along the South West Coastal Path of the UK, camping in the wild, creating a new understanding of the word ‘Home’ along the way.

Just who are literary festivals for and why do we love them so much? Gail, Steph and host Philippa go backstage with Anne Oxborough of the well-established Ways With Words and Michael Pugh of recent start-up the Llangwm Literary Festival to find out more.

This month Charlotte meets author of The Salt Path; Raynor Winn and chats with garden designer Lilly Gomm.  When life throws you a massive curve ball, what happens next? 

Most people don't have to face all their worst fears in a single week. Raynor Winn and her husband were left homeless when an investment went bad. Within days, her husband Moth received a terrifying medical diagnosis that predicted a dramatic decline. What did they do? They decided to wild camp (that's camping without campgrounds or rules, for those outside the UK) and walk the over 600 miles of the coast path in England. In this episode, we not only discuss Raynor's incredible life experience, but she also tells to story of how she wrote and got the book published, which is almost as dramatic a tale as her memoir! If you worry that you need more qualifications, or think that your story won't make a difference, listening to Raynor Winn describe going from homeless to the bestselling author will brighten your day and your outlook as much as it did for me. This episode promises to be a fast favorite and I know you'll want to keep it around for inspiration long into the future. Happy listening! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's podcast guest said some really profound things, as we giggled our way through recollections of everything that is funny about wild swimming - including trying to put your wetsuit on inside out and hopping around in car parks trying to get dressed. The first profound thing she said was "you'll always find a friend wild swimming." How true is that? Both in terms of the lifelong friends we find through wild swimming, and the friends for a day we find as they emerge from the lake we are about to get into, or who stand nervously next to us at the start of a mass participation event. Those friends, be they with us for a reason, a season or a lifetime, are a gift of wild swimming. The second profound thing Beverley said was "wild swimming saved me that year" as she reflected on the mental breakdown she had had. Both the cold water and the small group of friends, known as the Callander Coven, who had regularly accompanied her to swim in it, had acted as the most profound form of therapy. It had been an essential lifeline. It always feels like a privilege when virtual strangers (or new instant friends as I like to think of them) share such personal experiences with me. It feels like my job, as host of the podcast to stay quiet, to leave the space for the guest to speak. And yet when we move into such emotive, personal and brave territory, staying quiet starts to feel like a small betrayal. Leaving a friend out there alone, exposed. Maybe I'm over thinking it. We talked about books about wild swimming that explore the healing power of the cold water and the community of wild swimmers who surround us and help to keep us afloat. For Beverley, Leap In by Alexandra Heminsley really resonated. For me, I've Found My Tribe by Ruth Fitzmaurice and The Salt Path by Raynor Winn both touched me and connected with some of my own pain and vulnerability. Beverley is lucky enough to live in a part of the world where around 7 lochs are within a few miles drive, leaving her spoiled for choice and able to outwit the weather gods! Without really intending to, she cleverly summed up something of the magic of what is created when cold water in a beautiful setting combine with good friends - swimming into rainbows. While this actually happened to her, for me it is a glorious evocation of what wild swimming means to me, and why I do it.

The bailiffs took their family home in the same week Raynor Winn and husband Moth were told – completely out of the blue – Moth had a terminal illness. Destitute and homeless, they decided to backpack along the windswept cliffs of the South West Coast Path that runs the length of the west coast of England. 630 miles of steep, unforgiving terrain. With very little money for food and only a tent for shelter they began to walk and walk and walk… this is their story.    On this episode we cover: Going from homeless to being published by Penguin (with her new book The Salt Path) How Raynor and Moth became homeless The farm in Wales they called home Investing in a business that failed Battling a court case and losing Being evicted from their family home The shock Moth being unexpectedly told he has two years to live The neuro-degenerative brain disease he was diagnosed with Hiding under the stairs from the bailiffs The book that inspired them to start walking Embarking on the South West Coast Path Carrying heavy rucksacks 630 miles of difficult terrain with an ascent close to climbing Everest nearly four times The path through Somerset, North Devon, Cornwall, South Devon and Dorset ‘A strip of wilderness that sits between every day life and the endless horizon’ Encountering terrifying storms Lands End in a horrendous storm Nothing but the Atlantic in between them and Canada Realising they were free The rural homeless communities they encountered – living in horseboxes and sheds or in camps in the woods Seasonal work that doesn’t pay a living wage for Cornish locals Feeling threatened by unpredictable fellow humans when in towns Being surprised by being ‘the old backpackers’ The negative response when they said they were homeless The point of transition to realising what homelessness meant Being kicked by a woman whilst scrabbling for dropped coins on the street How her sense of self started to disintegrate Their weekly income of about £30 a week Living on very little food – super noodles! Characters they met along the way – including the person who predicted they would ‘walk with a tortoise’ A tortoise called Lettuce Moth growing stronger along the journey Swimming with Portheras Cove on a beautiful warm evening Outrunning the tide with a tent on rebuilding their self-worth Encountering a stranger whose life was changed by an article she wrote for The Big Issue – magazine sold by homeless for homeless How offers of kindness were so life affirming when they had nothing Getting free meals in the name of poet Simon Armitage Getting stoned with surfers in horse boxes Seeing the Plymputh to Santander ferry heading off, knowing that this was the ferry they had taken with their children when they were younger How their two children, both at university, reacted to their parents homelessness How Moth’s impending decline inspired her to write the book What their plans are now Whether there will be a Salt Path Movie How the walk gave them an incredible landscape for them to try to rebuild themselves How salty blackberries made the most memorable moment from the walk Skylarks and their song      

Alexandra Burke reveals the life events that have inspired the songs on her new album. Raynor Winn was made bankrupt and lost her home, just as her husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. They embarked on the journey of their lifetime - to walk the South West Coast Path, the 630-mile. sea-swept trail from Somerset to Dorset, via Devon and Cornwall.
